The SRP 4 has the largest samples of any self-report psychopathy instrument. The SRP 4 includes three specific North American reference samples: • Community (N = 638), • College (N = 788), • and Offender (N = 304).

Each sample represents a group of individuals who are of particular interest to psychopathy researchers, especially those who study psychopathy via self-report.
